The Uncanny Valley Expo Finalists!
After painful deliberation, here at last are the ten finalists of New World Notes' Uncanny Valley Expo 2007. These are the ten avatars which (in my view), engaged the viewer on a human level most. (The semi-finalists are here; the full selection is here.) Take a good look at these ten via the links below, because next week, you the reader will select your favorite among them. Thanks again to all who contributed, and for making my selections so difficult. Counter-clockwise from top left are:
- DeltaDharmaDawn, modeling and presenting, "Do you still watch over me?"
- Rodion Resistance, modeling and presenting, "Hey you!!!"
- Haley Salomon, modeling and presenting.
- Marianne McCann, modeling and presenting, "blog.secondlife.com."
- Haver Cole, modeling and presenting.
- Young Geoffrion, modeling and presenting.
- Saeya Nyanda, modeling and presenting.
- Heidi Sturm, modeling and presenting, "Deep in Thought."
- Xellessanova Zenith, modeling and presenting, "Go Cry Emo Kid."
- Molly Maidstone presenting, Megan Steins modeling.
Wow - cool! I'm honored to be one of the finalists. Thankoo. :-)

Child avatars are disturbing.
